The artwork on page one
said it all, the Bears’ “B” turned on its side to resemble a heart. The Chicago media really does love the Bears,
or wants to. Newly named head coach Matt Nagy should enjoy the honeymoon. If past it prelude, it’ll last a long time.
That B took up the top
half of page one of the Trib’s sports’ section.
In all, there were 4-1/2 pages devoted to the Bears, with another half-page
going to NFL news. The Bulls made page six
and the Blackhawks page seven. The back
page was split between the Cubs and White Sox, with ¾ of it going to the North
Siders, most of that devoted to where manager Joe Maddon spends the offseason (Answer:
Tampa). The Sun-Times did pretty much
the same, minus any local baseball news.
As a Sox fan, I could
complain about media bias from now to kingdom come, but it wouldn’t do any
good. Anybody who wants to follow the
Sox is forewarned that there won’t be a lot of coverage unless the team wins
big. That’s the way it is and has been
for as long as I can remember. So be
it. Just don’t tell me it’s my
imagination.
